plenzmd1 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Herschel Walker is looking to make a comeback apparently. link to article -> My link Should we bite? lol I would not be so quick to laugh. I bet you this dude can still play..he is a freak of nature, and i know I would not want to the DB staring him in the face when that train is rolling toward me.

1B4IDie Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 @49 That would be insane\awesome. I bet he could be a 3rd down back. If you saw him in MMA he can pick up a blitz, and he had great hands for a dump off. If he would play for a veteran minimum on a contender that needs a 3rd down back like Atlanta, that would be awesome. He was a Georgia Bulldog so the fans would love it. He is a freaking freak so maybe the Falcons allow him to come into training camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hey more power to him, if he can. I doubt he'd be of use... but still the man is 50, in great shape, and still doing relatively amazing things. He was pretty impressive in his MMA fight for being 48 and a relative newbie to the scene. Much respect to Mr. Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhg Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Didn't Joe D. play in the arena league in his 40's? Maybe Walker ends up playing in the UFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattsox Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Yeah We should sign him, trade him to Minnesota and get a whole bunch of draft picks and rebuild our team that way. Hello 1989!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) From the comment in that piece "In his 2008 autobiography Breaking Free, Walker revealed that he suffers from dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as "multiple personality disorder".[20] He claimed that due to his disorder, he cannot remember the season he won the Heisman Trophy, let alone the moment." This might explain it all.

I wonder if the book talks about that. Edited January 25, 2011 by bowery4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayman Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 We should make him an LB. I think we all know he would be better than what we have now. I'm being serious too (more than half serious....like 60% serious). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Thought this was going to be about Gino Torretta.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayman Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 For anyone that says he needs the money I don't think he does. I'm pretty sure in the MMA piece espn did on him (which showed him to be a freak athlete even now) it was said that he is financially ok. And is just a competitor who thinks he can still compete with the best athletes in the world. And the conclusion of the piece was he might be right...

Jauronimo Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Could be risky move bringing in Herschel. Are his other personalities prepared for the rigors of an NFL season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) He'd be better than Spiller. There.

2003Contenders Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 You know it is a shame that this dude will forever be remembered for the ridiculous trade that netted the Cowboys all those draft picks (and eventually a Super Bowl roster). I blame the Vikings more for not using Walker properly than I do for giving up so much to get him. He was one of the absolute greatest athletes to ever play in the NFL. He was edged out by Darrell Green as the fastest man in the NFL -- AND won a competition as the NFL's strongest man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Jeff George is also still convinced he has what it takes to be in the NFL. Herschel is dreaming. There is 0% chance of him being on a 53 man roster come September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Dude is still kicking ass at 48. We should at least give him a tryout. At a minimum, think of the exposure it would generate. "Herschel Walker continues to defy Father Time. The 48-year-old former NFL and college football star toyed with Scott Carson to pick up his second career mixed martial arts win on the Strikeforce card in San Jose, Calif." http://sports.yahoo.com/mma/blog/cagewriter/post/In-his-second-pro-MMA-fight-Herschel-Walker-whi?urn=mma-314174 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Thought this was going to be about Gino Torretta.. .....or Troy Smith, Matt Leinart, Jason White, Eric Crouch, Chris Weinke, Danny Wuerffel, Charlie Ward or Ty Detmer.

1B4IDie Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 OR open a BAR in Cheektowaga! He doesn't need money. He just crushed some kid in MMA last night. He seriously might be able to play 3rd down back. If he was willing to play special teams too it's possible he could even make a roster. I'd love to see it.

silvermike Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Gino Toretta was the first heisman winner I was really aware of. I think I was like, 8 or something. I couldn't figure out why nobody drafted him in the first round, and I was sure he was going to be a pro star. That's how I learned my lesson.

GG Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Nothing like taking the interview out of context. He was asked if he thought that he could still play football at the pro level, and he answered yes. Did he say that he wanted to come back to the NFL? No. Edited February 1, 2011 by GG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
